MAC for McQueen - October 2007
Monday, August 13th, 2007
Bold eyes and bold brows are in for this season like I have commented in earlier postings as well as bolder eyeliner with a definite wing to it.
Loved it or hated it, no one stayed indifferent to McQueen’s Egyptian themed collection inspired by Elizabeth Taylor’s “Cleopatra” and done with MAC products, one thing led to another and MAC and McQueen are collaborating to launch MAC’s Fall extravaganza.
Although the runway makeup theme was done with MAC Pro like paint sticks for those intense colors in shades of teal, soft blue, and lime green and now feature three limited edition eyeshadows (Haunting, Nile and Pagan) all with Veluxe Pearl finish and three matching paint pots (Otherworldly, Electro Sky and Pharaoh), contrasting with the bold eye color choices, the lipsticks and lip glosses are neutral and subdued, matching a nearly blush free face and a matte foundation finish.
The biggest novelty in this collection are the new Kohl Power, rich eyeliners with pearly finishes of gold and green were designed to enhance what was already an industry staple (I love MAC Eye Kohl pencils) and prolong wear and color intensity.
For me, it’s a collection that I wait for anxiously for i love McQueen’s bold dramatic style and am quite fond of daring eyeliner design. Also, I really enjoy kohl products so I’m wondering if MAC will present us with a cheaper alternative to Guerlain’s, even without the added glamor of the small amulet like vial.
This collection will be presented in retro style black packaging featuring the MAC logo and Alexander McQueen’s signature in gold.
